This two disc lecture set by Fr Hopko focuses on Christ crucified( Christ rose from the dead the third day) -- the centre of the Christian faith. Fr Hopko makes the important distinction between the Word of the Cross and the words from the cross. Paradoxically, the most profound Word of the Cross is the silence of God in his ultimate act and unsurpassed revelation. As Fr Hopko states, "Beyond the Cross there is nothing more God can do( to prove His Love). Beyond the Cross there is nothing more God can say( to prove His Love for mankind). Beyond the Cross there is nothing more to be revealed." A popular speaker for Orthodoxy in North America and throughout the world, Fr Hopko is Dean-Emeritus of St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary where he taught Dogmatic Theology from 1972 to 2002.
